Across the Sunday's River
Lies the Addo bush
A haven for the birds and beasts
To man a wilderness

Pretorius, Bidweirs, Lou and Johnston knew it well
A place they couldn't conquer so
They called it Hunter's Hell

The elephant rules there
But the citizens don't mind
There's Buffalo and Ostrich
Bush Pig and Porcupine
And Hapoor was the strongest of the kings they ever had
And people said that he was just a rogue and he was bad

Though the hunter's rifle knicked him in the ear
Of the bullets and the pain he had no fear
With the fire sweep revenge to light his eye
Hapoor wouldn't let the Addo die
Hapoor wouldn't let the Addo die

There were leaders like Caesar
Before him yes, that's was true
But a great king like Hapoor
Nobody ever knew

It was a prince called Lankey finally that took his throne
Now he's gone with ghost herds of elephants rogue

Though the hunter's rifle knicked him in the ear
Of the bullets and the pain he had no fear
With the fire sweep revenge to light his eye
Hapoor wouldn't let the Addo die
Hapoor wouldn't let the Addo die
